Chapter 307: Arsenic



Zhao Dahu calmed down and looked at Chu Yue.

Chu Yue did not take action immediately, but bowed three times respectfully.

This is the rule in the medical school. Every corpse is their cadaver teacher and must be respected.

"I'm starting."

Chu Yue opened the white cloth, untied the clothes on the corpse, and cut open the old gray skin with a sharp scalpel——

Along with the smell of blood, a foul odor spread out.

Even the experienced military doctors Hao and Zhou couldn't help but turn their heads away and cover their noses; Zhao Dahu had never seen such a scene before, his stomach was churning and he almost vomited several times.

His face was pale and he held it back.

As for that direction... Zhao Dahu didn't dare to look at it again.

However, Chu Yue stood there, calm and composed, without even frowning. She seemed not to smell anything and treated everything in front of her as a research object.

From the chest to the stomach, all the internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys...

She examined everything in great detail, checking the location of the poisoning and the organs that had undergone pathological changes.

It lasted for two hours. Doctor Hao and Doctor Zhou were injured and poisoned respectively. They could not hold on any longer and left the warehouse.

Zhao Dahu sent them out and handed them over to Zhang Weimin for care.

He returned to Chu Yue's side, "Chu...Chu...Boss..."

"My current identity is a military doctor, you can call me Doctor Chu." Chu Yue said calmly without raising her head.

Zhao Dahu whispered, "Doctor Xiao Chu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Yue said, "There are gloves in the medicine box. Put them on and hand me the tools I need."

Just like that, Zhao Dahu did as Chu Yue said, put on gloves, stood by, and occasionally handed over the necessary tools.

After a long time.

Chu Yue came to a conclusion in her mind. She restored everything, especially the initial incision. She took the surgical forceps and surgical thread in her hands and began to sew it up stitch by stitch.

At this moment, she distractedly glanced at Zhao Dahu. There was a deep sadness on the young man's face that could not be dispelled.

Chu Yue sighed and asked, "Zhao Dahu, does your father have a smoking habit?"

"...Yes, he smokes dry tobacco." Zhao Dahu's father became addicted to smoking because he lost his son at an early age, and he never put down his cigarette for decades.

"I looked at your father's lungs. They have shrunk by 50 percent. There are also signs of various diseases. If he lives normally, he may not survive this year."

Chu Yue's words may not necessarily comfort Zhao Dahu.

It seems that it is not better to die suddenly from poisoning or to die painfully from lung disease.

She just hoped that Zhao Dahu could relax a little.

Chu Yue continued, "Zhao Dahu, please accept my condolences. I will do my best to make the wounds on your father's body as invisible as possible."

As she spoke, Chu Yue's hands never stopped moving. She carefully and meticulously sewed up the wound bit by bit.

Zhao Dahu lowered his head, his eyes red, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, Doctor Xiao Chu."

After everything was ready, Chu Yue and Zhao Dahu walked out of the warehouse.

Doctor Hao, who was waiting outside the door, stood up immediately with a cane in his hand, "Xiao Chu, have you found out?"

Doctor Zhou also stood up in a hurry, his eyes full of expectation resting on Chu Yue, regarding Chu Yue as the hope of the whole village.

Chu Yue nodded, "It's arsenic."

"Arsenic?!"

Everyone was horrified, their eyes widened, and Zhang Weimin shouted loudly.

“How could it be arsenic? Could it be… someone poisoned it?! It wasn’t an accident, someone really poisoned it?! There are so many people in the village, who poisoned them, and killed so many people in one go, how can we investigate… how can we investigate…”

Zhang Weimin was so frightened that he paced back and forth.

Since the accident happened, most people thought it was an accident and caused by an unknown toxin. After all, the people in the village knew each other well, and no one would be cruel enough to poison so many people at once.

But arsenic...it's highly poisonous!

The possibility of deliberate poisoning has greatly increased, and the poisoner is still in the village, so Zhang Weimin is so scared.

Doctor Zhou was having trouble catching his breath and was almost about to collapse, gasping for air in large gulps.

Doctor Hao said carefully, "Xiao Chu, if it's arsenic, then someone poisoned it, and the nature of the matter is different. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. After the autopsy, I saw the victim's internal organs. Judging from the location of the poisoning and the pathological phenomena, it must be arsenic. I won't be wrong." Chu Yue was absolutely confident in her medical knowledge.

However, Chu Yue had another conclusion, "Doctor Hao, I don't think it was intentional poisoning."

Doctor Hao frowned and asked, "Please tell me your opinion in detail."

"First, too many people were poisoned. Usually, people who poison to seek revenge will only target one or two targets, and rarely do such a ruthless thing. Second, arsenic is a highly toxic substance and is under control. It is impossible for ordinary people to obtain arsenic, let alone the amount needed to poison so many people. Third, the symptom of poisoning is arsenic. In the natural environment, in addition to arsenic, there are many fungi and bacteria that can produce toxins similar to arsenic."

For example - Aflatoxin.

Aflatoxin is a very scary bacteria that contains 68 times more toxins than arsenic.

Arsenic poisoning can still be treated, but aflatoxin poisoning is likely to result in immediate death and cannot be saved. In addition, it has a very high cancer rate. Even if you don’t die on the spot, you may die of cancer within a few years.

Moreover, Aflatoxin can only be eliminated at high temperatures exceeding 280 degrees. In normal living environments, even high-temperature disinfection cannot kill it.

It is a very scary virus.

"That makes sense...what you said makes sense..." Doctor Zhou nodded repeatedly after listening to Chu Yue's analysis.

At this time, Doctor Zhou completely believed what Doctor Hao said. Chu Yue was indeed a young man with extraordinary medical skills, better than these old men.

He asked, "Doctor Xiao Chu, since it wasn't intentional poisoning, it must have been an accident. In your opinion, how should we investigate this next?"

"Are the meals, bowls and chopsticks that everyone ate on the day of the accident still there?" Chu Yue asked.

Zhang Weimin said hurriedly, "Yes, they are all here. After the death that day, Doctor Zhou asked me to keep all the things intact and not touch them. I asked someone to guard them, and no one else has touched them except the people who came to investigate a few times before."

Chu Yue decided, "That's fine, let's go over and take a look."

Zhang Weimin had something else to say. The doctors in the city had investigated twice before, but they didn't find anything. Could Chu Yue be able to see it?

Zhao Dahu pushed Zhang Weimin and said, "Clerk, hurry up and leave. Don't waste Doctor Xiaochu's time."

Zhang Weimin hurriedly came back to his senses and led the way.
